The basic objective of a logistics design and analysis study is
to determine the best utilization of logistical resources so that
customer service goals are achieved at minimum total costs. The
current status and future demands of the logistical system and
customer service levels must be taken into consideration. Since the
logistical environment changes continuously, system design and
analysis cannot be a one-time activity despite efforts to build a
flexible system capable of meeting customer needs for the longest
possible period of time.
